Bravely Default (3DS)

Product Information

Atsushi Okubo, the author of the manga Soul Eater, designed the character Einheria Venus and the Valkyrie job costumes. The series' first game, Bravely Default, was originally conceived as a Nintendo 3DS sequel to the Final Fantasy spin-off Nintendo DS game The 4 Heroes of Light; although ultimately it had all its characters/locations renamed and acquired a unique title (so as to be perceived as a brand-new IP), it still retained elements like the traditional storyline of crystals and the Warriors of Light and the traditional job system gameplay (with modifications like incorporating an asterisk system used to acquire and change jobs). Bravely Default II was well-received by fans and as a result, we’re hoping to continue the series as we feel we can pull it off once again. With that said, we’re still in the planning phase, and I suspect development will take another 3-4 years, so we’d appreciate if fans could bear with us.” A forgettable story isn’t insurmountable, though — sometimes, complex combat is all the reward I need. But those systems are also uneven in Bravely Default 2. Personally, I became desensitized to it a LONG time ago from the constant bombardment of sexualization we see in every form of media. I will say this, it's one thing when it's a real person who's underage, but videogames- doesn't really bother me to be honest. I know the women in these Japanese games look young to westerners, but to be fair, that is how the eastern culture portrays females. You see it woven within every fabric of their art, from videogames to anime.

Reviews

Bravely Default 1 turned me off from right at the start. Second never even piqued my interest at the start. The demo for this one felt like maybe it goes in a different direction, but it sounds like perhaps not. Contents：コンシューマーゲーム/シリコンスタジオ株式会社. Silicon Studio.

The story plays out across a series of isolated chapters which each – in their own way – act as sort of self-contained mini-narratives that ultimately pay into the larger quest. It’s not quite on the level of Octopath Traveler’s largely standalone story arcs, but it nonetheless lends itself well to the continued variety. Each sub-story should take five-ish hours to see through, while introducing you to a litany of new characters, dungeons, towns, and enemy types. The pace at which these new elements are introduced helps to keep the experience feeling fresh, while the ever-evolving relationships between your party members help to ensure that it all feels like it fits together.

Where To Buy

Growth in job mastery is represented by job levels. As characters use a class more frequently in battle, their job level increases through accumulation of Job Points (JP). Bravely Default features a special system called "Abilink", which allows players to borrow the job levels of their friends' characters. According to producer Tomoya Asano, Bravely Default began development as a sequel to Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light (2009), and would have been part of the Final Fantasy franchise. [7] After completing The 4 Heroes of Light, Asano considered what he wanted to do next. Despite having the option to developing something within Square Enix's core franchises, he wanted to do something new, establishing a new brand. [8] During this initial phase, the original development team reached out to Silicon Studio, whose previous work was mostly related to development middleware. Silicon Studio developed a well-received demo for the project and were assigned to develop the game. Despite moving away from the Final Fantasy series, it retained a battle system and world setting in common with many Final Fantasy games. According to Asano, this was both a leftover of the project's original form and a conscious choice to give players from the Final Fantasy series a sense of comfortable familiarity. [7] [9] In later responses to fan questions, Asano confirmed that he designed the Final Fantasy-style story so players would have little trouble entering the world. The story-telling and gameplay was heavily influenced by western video games and television series. Asano described the result as a "Japanese RPG with American content thrown in". [10] The main challenge for the team was making Bravely Default a traditional RPG without overloading it with nostalgic elements. Despite this, as the team were fans of both Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest, nostalgic features were added for genre veterans and be appreciated by newcomers. [11] Asano wanted to bring together what he considered the three core elements of RPGs (battles, growth, and connection) in Bravely Default. An important element was creating a casual experience that anyone could enjoy, even if they had never played an RPG.
